The best beauty looks at the 2013 MTV EMAs

Hostess Laura Whitmore keeps up with A-listers Katy Perry and Rita Ora by wowing in the hair and makeup stakes.

This year's MTV VMAs, held in Amsterdam, didn't disappoint in the glamour stakes.

While there were no out-there beauty looks, the gorgeous yet wearable hairstyles and makeup showcased by the likes of Laura Whitmore, Rita Ora and Katy Perry totally gave us inspiration for the approaching party season. Check them out.

The evening's hostess Laura Whitmore looked amazing with her loosely done up-do, wavy tendrils tumbling around her face and a single plait positioned for good bohemian measure. We also love the golden glisten of makeup, with shimmery shadow rimming her lower lash line and that metallic finish lippy. Subtle sparkle equals chic party makeup. Fact.

Rita Ora and Katy Perry both did classic glamour looks with perfect red lipstick. Against her platinum blonde hue, Rita reminded us of Christina Aguilera in her heyday but the messy, choppy finish of her new long bob kept it fresh and fun.

Iconic brunette, Katy paired her brick red lippy with molten smokey eyes and a party ponytail. She totally pulls it off but we prefer Rita's take on the look with subtle eye makeup against such stand-out lips.
